helena. 88 through cassidy through -- more heavy rain toward vacaville, fairfield. you have been getting pounded all night there. berkeley, moderate rain. toward san francisco, the peninsula and east bay, lighter, but already over half an inch around fremont and, on the peninsula, we talked about varying totals. only about .01 inches in san jose, gilroy about .1 inches. much more to come as we look at 60's mainly across the bay area, driven by the strong, gusty south winds. 29 miles an hour in hayward, oakland 37, 26 in san jose, so upper elevations seeing 50 miles an hour at mount diablo, 60 mount st. helena last hour. they will get weaker behind the

front but it will not pass through the heart of the bay until about 2:00. look at san francisco, 1.62, santa rosa over three, 1.73 in oakland, .57 hayward, one third of an inch in antioch, redwood city .72. we will look at how long the rain will be coming down hard in the north bay through 9:00, 10:00, through noon time. 2:00, 3:00, it sinks south and east. look at half moon bay around 4:00, the santa cruz mountains, where the risk of debris flow is pretty moderate to high as we get heavy rain continuing to sing south through the dinner hour in the south bay. it is still raining pretty good in concord and livermore as we tracked three or four inches of rain. early monday, scattered showers, some down fors, the winds dying

back, but look at the totals. san ramon, six midges. already around mount tam, six inches. we will probably get five inches to come in santa rosa. we have picked up about three, so when additional three for you. four inches san francisco, san mateo, so a lot of rain in our forecast. mountain view, about an inch and a half. and in the santa clara valle y, over an inch. around 4:00, notice how the purples is getting into the east and south bay. as we get behind the front, midnight, still breezy. looking at a high surf advisory until tuesday, anywhere from 10 feet now, but those breakers going up to 30 feet, and a wind warning for the sierra nevada.

it is 40's now, but several inches above 40,000 feet. we could get over three feet above 7000 feet. a good snapshot of what the afternoon will look like as this atmospheric river sinks south, bringing the gusty winds with it, but it will be an all-day event, so we are looking at this level four today with flooding on the roadways, tree limbs down, and the burn scar area, concerned about the debris flow and mudslides that could take us through the afternoon in the santa cruz mountains. looking at about six inches of rain here by the time we get to 10:00, 11:00 tonight, liz, so that is why they had evacuation orders, and it is a good idea to stay off the roads today. liz: if you can, really, stay home and hope for the best. thank you, lisa. next, the future of public
